		The 2004 Battle of Flowers was a big success with the crowd despite the little shower at the start of the parade.
		i joined the battle this year and was disapointed in the one lane presession and felt it was too short and the visitors did not see the whole float in the was they did in years before.
		It was the first time I have ever seen the battle and I thought it was fantastic, although we nearly missed the last two floats as they were very far behind the rest of the floats and there was quite long delays between the floats in general.
